THE PATRIOTIC SOUTH.
A Confederate coIoneps Reflections
on the War.

A Hartford Conn special OF the
22d says: The reunion of General
Hawley's Seventh Connecticut rcgi-
ment was held at Lakeville this afSer-
room, the interest eentering in the re-
ception extended to Colonel Charles ii.
Olmsted, of Savannah, who command
ed Fort Pulaski at the time OF its
capture by the Seventh in 1862
and was taken prisoner by the regi-
rlent. Afterward Colonel Olmsted
was in command at Fort Wagner,
where the Seventh in turn lost
heavily in the charge on that FORTH
cation. The Colonel is a member OF
the military staff of Governor Gordon.
of Georgia. he was accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Susan Olmsted. and
while in Connecticut will be the guest
of Judge A. w. Church, of Lakeville.
General Hawley, in lis welcome to
Colonel Olmsted, said that in his ex-
tensive intercourse with southern men
he bad not heard one lament the results
of the war. The national principle,
North and South, now is one country
under one Constitution, one flag, and
one destiny.
In response Colonel Olmsted said the
war was fought from different views of
duty. The magnitude of the struggle
shows that it was for the settlement OF
questions which had been for genera
tons MS a thorn in the flesh. lie be-
lieved IN the overriding power of God
and was satisfied that He has ordained
for the people OF the South, through
what they once thought their greatest
tribulation, a future and career far
better than they could have mapped
out for themselves. 81 have long
thought" added Colonel Olmsted,
"that in the not very distant future the
people of the whole country will
learn to look upon the gallantry
of the southern soldiers and the uncom-
planning fortitude of the southern peo-
pie as a heritage in common with their
admiration for similar virtues at the
North. The brave deeds OF northern
and southern soldiers alike will be
cherished in the memories of The entire
people as sure evidence that the Amerl-
can is no degenerate scion of noble
stock, but the equal of any man upon
earth A generation of young men
has grown up in the South since the
last sound of cannon at AppomattOx.
They have learned that tine destinies Of
every part OF this mighty Union are in
separable. Fathers and sons alike have
accepted the result of the struggle in
loyalty and good faith"
The speech of Colonel Olmsted wa
received with enthusiasm, and the
effect OF it will be OF great value among
the veterans in the State. General
Hawley was elected president OF the
rcyimental association.

Young Eyes.


We believe that one of Murat Hal.
stead's bright boys-he had four at
Princeton at the same time, one in each
class-is the New York correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercials Gazette,
in the columns of which the veteran
field marshal exploits the political ideas
of his party with picturesque corrusca-
tons of colored light and laundering
explosions that shake the Ohio in its
bed and cause the fire-eaters OF the
distant Gulf States to turn green with
envy. The younger Halstead writes
from New York, and the elder Halstead
publishes the following:
1.-THE plain truth is that the young
voters in the eastern and New England
States take little personal interest in
the so-oalled bloody-shirt style OF cam
paign argument and oratory. This is
fact which must be faced. and it is q
fact that is causing a good many Re
publicans of prominence TO consider
whether or no il will be safe 10 make
the war issues tic leading ones in the
next presidential campaign"
The young man is right. He sees
farther in the clear anthracite region
than any eyes can zee through the BIZ
luminous coal smoke Of the Ohio VAL
ley. We advise the father to profit by
the younger eyes and the clearer view
OF the son.

HUNTING A BIG BEAR.
Btuin Makes Things Lively IN New
ark streets Before Being shot.

A Newark special says A big brown
bear held possession of Eighth ave
nue. in the vicinity OF High street this
morning and caused a blockade and
panic. She had escaped from the sa-
loon of her owner, Michael CAIRO, and
knocked him from the middle of the
street to the sidewalk when he
attempted to impede her exit.
Growing vicious'y and shaking
her head menacingly, the bear ran
towards High street, scattering vehicles
right and lett and causing an uproar
among children. Occasionally she
would stop in her numbering stride long
enoIgh to break the back of an annoy
ing cur. Men sprang into wagons,
others rushed into private dwelling,
while some Of the more active and bad
ly frightened scrambled ~ trees. The
women lost no time in reaching the top
floors of their houses, from which they
gazed through the windows and
screamed.
Bruin came to a halt near High
street and 50 did pedestrians from
either direction. Very few drivers
deemed it prudent to pass the ugly
brute therefore it required but few
minutes to canse a blockade. Several
officers and French trainer were sent
for. The bear had been lassoed in the
mean time and was fastened to tree
when the officers arrived. The trainer
was Oh hand and he explained to the
police :H"There isno danger zee beast
understan' hee's language. " Procuringa
chain he ATTEMPTED to secure the beast,
when she tossed him into the middle OF
the street. She was then secured 10y
chain, which she snapped asunder with
cut the slightest trouble. She was
finally bound with ropes to large elm
tree, and even then the trainer would
not approach to fasten the chain to her
note. Officer Cosgrove returned to the
Second precinct police-station and
asked for advice. Justice Widman de-
cided that the case came unde: the
ordinance relative to the maintaining
of vicious animals. Lieutenant Dow
ling then ordered the beast to be shot
and the owrer 10 be arrested. Officer
McTague procureda revolver and killed
Tie beast. CAIRO was arrested, but on
promising to remove the bears cub
rom the city he was discharged.

acres of Pittsburgh suburban land for
about $1,000 Nobody seems to know
what he is going TO do with it, but it is
remembered that he is interested in a

The sentimental story about the
beautiful New England girl who once
acted as James q. Blaine's private Sc

moral and physical wreck, is ridiculed
in Washington, where Mr.. Blaine's

WAsHEGTON, September 23.-Sur-
geon-GeneTal Hamilton, Of the Marine
Hospital Service, has received a dis
patch from New York confirming the
press report of the arrival there Of the
steamship Alesia, with cholera GA
board. The telegram merely an
uounced the facts in the case as pub
lished, without making request for
Government assistance, and 1t is
thought the quarantine authorities OF
New York feel confident of their abll-
ity to stamp out the disease without
asking the help of United States
health officers. DR.. Slower, of the
Marine Hospital Service, says that no
authority is vested III the bureau to in
teriere in State quarantine affairs, ua-
less a request comes from the health
officers of the State for assistance.
New York, be says. has very large and
efficient quarantine board, fully able,
in his opinion, TO grapple successfully
with the exigencies OF the occasion.

last evening, q ccowd which had
gathered outside Of the building in
which the meeting was being held made
an attack upon the rooms Of the Pro-
testant Young Mems Association. The
Police charged the crowd, but the mob
continually gained fresh accessions aud
resisted, and a melee occurred, the po-
lice using their batons and the crowd
using stones. TIE conflict continued
until Mr.. Tanner, member of Parlia-
ment, who was present at the league
meeting, came out and implored the
crowd to desist. After this the police
made another charge and dispersed the
crowd. Several constables were cut
with stone, and considerable glass was

a SUICIDE AT SEA.
Tragedy on eteamer's Voyage
Just brought 20 Light.
New York TJmes.l

New York Itmes.l
Nearly month ago a dispatch was
received at the Times Office from st.
Johns. y. +. 1t stated that a woman
Lad fallen overheard from the steam
ship Adriatic, of the White-Star Line,
and had been drowned. The accident,
it was stated, bad occurred through the
curiosity Of the passengers, so many OF
whom had rushed to one side OF the
Adriatic TO see Newfoundland fishing
boat that the woman had lost her foot
ing and had fallen into the water. The
Adriatic, according to the dispatch,
had halted in her course, while her
crew had done all in their power to save
the woman, but to no purpose.
Communication between the Fishing
Parks and st. Johns, the principal city
of Newfoundland, is irregular, and be-
fore she dispatch which gave informa-
ton of the accident reached the Times
Office the Adriatic had arrived at New
York, discharged her passengers, and
sailed for Liverpool. None OF the
steamers officers furnished the news
papers with an account OF the accident,
as they are not expected to adver-
tise such incidents, but it does
seem little odd that all the pas
scngers who witnessed or heard
Of the affair should have gone their va
rious ways after reaching New York
without adverting TO it. When areporter
Of the Times called at the Office OF the
White-Star Line, in this city, ard
asked if woman had fallen overheard
from the Adriatic and been drowned,
nothing was known of such an incident
by the officials of the line. One OF the
managers in this city said yesterday
that he probably failed to conpect the
suicide Of passenger on the Adriatic
with the story that woman had fallen
overheard.
The woman in the case is Mrs.
Catherine Riley. At s o'clock on the
morning of august 23d she was on the
deck OF the Adriatic, when The steamer
was about a hundred miles from st.
Johns. Nearly all the other passengers
were at breakfast, so that there wee
very few Oh deck. One OF these was
relative Of Mrs. Riley, and he asked
her if she would not like a cup OF tea.
She had not seemed in good health or
spiiits during the create part Of the
yoyage. Mrs. Riley refused the offer
If cup OF tea, and, waiting until her
relative had turned his back, dclibe
rately jumped overheard. An alarm was
1t once given. The engines OF the
Adriatic were reversed and the steamer
cluised about the spot for some little
time, but the woman apparently sank
1t once.
The Jump was witnessed by the crew
Of 2 fishing boat, the Cormacks, belong
ing to calmonier, Newfoundland. Au-
gust 2Sth one OF the Cormacks's crew,
while attending the trawl, found a
woman's 'ody. There were papers in
the pocket of her dress which showed
that she had been a passenger on the
Adriatic. The body was taken to Fer
ryland, Newfoundland, ard buried there
il tie Eoman Catholic cemetery. Some
If Mrs. Riley's relatives, VINO live in
This city, called at the White-Star Line
Office for information regarding her
death. They said she had probably
Jumped overheard while low-spirited,
Us she had left her family in the old
country.

CoEE, September %. MIR. William
O'Brien, who is Charged by the Govern
ment with sedition under the coercion
law, was taken to-day from Cork Jail to
Mitchelstown, where the alleged sedi.
tious language was used, to stand trial
before the court there. As he left the
city under the guard OF detachment
Of Huzzars and police he was loudly
cheered. Upon their arrival at Mitch
elstown Dir. O'Brien was received with
tremendous cheering by the large
crowd which gathered to welcome him.
Tie crowd manifested great excitement,
but there were no indications OF dis
order. MIR. O'Brien was Immediately
conveyed by his guards to the court
room. Many English ladies were pres
ent to witness the trial, and MIR.
O'Brien was the recipient Of bouquets
from a number OF them.
When the case of O'Brien was
opened several policemen were called
as witnesses for the Government. They
testified from memory as to O'Brien's
language, which they asserted tended
to incite his listeners to violence.
During the hearing OF their evidence a
procession, armed with sticks and head
cd by a wagon carryinga band, marched
into the town from the country. The
hussars stopped the wagon but allowed
the other part Of the procession to
proceed. The procession took up a
position close to the courtroom, but
order was observed.
Constable Foley admitted that the
notes he made OF what O'Brien sail
in his speech were made the next
morning, and from memory. The
head constable told him 10 write the
report. He was not asked to produce
the notes for many days after. He
could not swear that O'Brien spoke in
the order in which the words appeared
in the notes.
MIR. Harrington declared that q de-
liberate attempt had beOn made to sup
press Constable O'Sullivan's report OF
O'Brien's speech.
Mr.. Carron said that the observation
OF Mr.. harrington was pure iaorlca-
ton.
Mr.. Harrington I" You lie."
Magistrate Eaton: 81 cannot allow
such remarks here. If you repeat them
you will be removed from court"
Harrington (excitedly): Il" You need
not trouble yourself f; [ shall remove
myself. ! shall have nothing more to
DO with such a solemn farce"
An excited crowd followed the car
in which O'Brien was taken back to
prison, hooting and yelling at the sol
diers, who fixed their bayonets and pro
ceeded. Dillon and q number OF
priests paeified the crowd.

LYNCHURG, VA, September "a
The United States District Court
Judge Paul presiding which has been
in session here since Tuesday, finished
its criminal docket to-day. The cases

such as selling liquor without license,
etc. The more important cases were
continued till next term, including that
Of Southall, the ex- Republican postal
clerk, indicted for robbing the mails,
ard that OF Paoh, for embezZling post
Office funds at Charlottesville.
A strong fight will be made for
Southall, although there IS clear case
against him, as he was detected in tue
act. He was formerly n Republican
member of the Legislature. lie to-day
renewed his bond for reappearance in
the penalty of $1,000. The remainder
of the term of the court will be occu-
pied with civil cases.

She raised the one issVeG TO her by the
Lynchburg National from 81 to $50,
paid il to Mr. Guggenheimer, having
bought goods OF him to the value OF
SO. and received 80 in change. The
fraud was detected by the teller OF the
bank later in the day, and the police
were Immediately placed upon her
track. but the bird had flown.
